If possible, I would RATE THIS ITEM 2.5 STARS
1) This grappling hook does not fold. The title is deceptive and needs to be changed regardless of what the manufacture in China has decided to call the product. Folding means to bend, period. Hence, this grappling hook does not have tines that lay flat. Instead the grappling hook comes apart (see photo) for storage as shown on the back of the box (see photo) but never shared by the seller.
2) The twin hook forms on the shaft, once loose from a throw and hard landing, spin around on the main shaft, and do not securely lock into place when finger tighten. This leaves the hook in a non rigid form as the tines once loose from a throw, will also wiggle about some on the main shaft.
3) The tine hooks are not well formed such that the grappling hook when laid down, rest in a less safe position (see photo). For use and safety, grappling hooks in their resting position should have their pointed tines facing down or towards the ground. This grappling hook has been designed and made such that in it's natural resting position has the pointed tines dangerously facing up, and potentially hazardous to people when stowed. The solution would be to reposition the "center of gravity" for the grappling hook by making the center shaft longer.
4) As of June 2010, very low quality nylon rope is being supplied with the grappling hook. Note all of the miss weaves in the line (see photo).
Presuming that the seller is conscientious and aware of what they are promoting, had to have known that the title on the box is an incorrect description of the product and needs to be reworded to reflect the true design and function of this grappling hook. Since the seller, Martial Arts Land, via Amazon is not correcting the ad even thought the ad has been posted and displayed for as long as it has been, must be either indifferent or simply too lazy and disrespectful of their customers to permit such failure and inaction to continue.
For those reviewers that claim that this grappling hook folds must not own or have used the product.
Minus 1.0 for the grappling hook does not function as describe in the advertisement.
Minus 0.5 for the pointed tines on the grappling hook rest in an unsafe position.
Minus 0.25 for the hooks, after a hard landing, do not stay place, wiggle and spin.
Minus 0.25 for supplying with the grappling hook a low quality miss weaved rope.
Minus 0.25 for the seller not clearly stating that the product is miss labeled on the box.
Minus 0.25 for not sharing an image of the product box showing the hook disassembled not folded.

By Ellis Bell
As an entry-level ninja in today's weakened economy, I must watch my budget on equipment and supplies. I haven't yet qualified for health benefits, and the union for ninjas isn't the most effective, so I have little to back me up in case of a catastrophic injury. Although most assume I have the REAL ultimate power from the outset, being an entry-level ninja is a long climb to the top. So, for the ninja on the go, this is the ideal item for the price-conscious ninja needing an effective grappling hook at a price-point that won't offend your sensei or your sensibility. Just last week, I was infiltrating the offices of a large, multi-national bank on a small assassination mission, and - wouldn't you know it? -my old hook just snapped in two as I hoisted myself up to the 17th floor. I nearly fell a rather devastating distance to the ground. I am so glad I had this hook at the ready as a backup! I was able to hoist myself back to safety after a quick throw (most of my free time is, in fact, spend flying with the aid of this hook). I will, of course, buy another, now that my backup hook is now my primary hook, although I think that next time I scale an office building, I'll take the elevator instead. Or I'll just totally flip out, and that would be sweet.

By I.K. Pollard
There I was. Snow blew gently past my face, stinging my cheeks and nose. A once green field stretched endless and white in front of me as the heaviest snow so far that winter blanketed the ground. Standing just across the field, I could see the shadowy form of my tormentor, my captor, my love. He was as cold as the katana that rested comfortingly in my hand. It had not always been that way. Once he had been kind. But now the very skills he had taught me, the ones we had learned together as our love grew, were the ones I would use to end his life.
The wait was not long. I heard his sandals crunching through the snow. It sounded like a symphony heralding his way toward death. He drew near. A tear slid down my cheek. I missed what we could have been. He was almost to me now. He would have his sword shoulder high, to bring it whistling toward my neck. But still I waited. It all grew still.
I knew his patterns. He knew mine. He would know of the hidden blade I kept nestled in my bun. He would remember the poison tipped needles in a special pocket on my obi. But what he didn't know was that I had purchased the functional ninja folding grappling hook (with black finish and rope) just days before on amazon. Secure in the knowledge that he couldn't know of my browser history, I steeled my nerves and lowered my head to wait.
I seized my moment. Unfolding the grappling hook in one smooth moment I swung it true along it's sturdy rope, bringing it to rest inside of my love. For a moment nothing happened. I was afraid that it hadn't worked as I'd hoped. Then I remembered the quality craftsmanship of this hook. He stared at me for a few seconds then gave a gentle smile. Falling forward the snow fluffed up around him, cradling him in an eternal embrace.
I allowed myself one more tear, then started away. I knew the snow would cover my darling. And that one day, I would buy a new hook. And love again.

IT REALY IS HEAVY DUTY!
I HAD MY DOUBTS WHEN I OPENED THE BOX, BUT I USED IT TO PULL APART A LARGE BEAVER DAM (4ft. high) WORKED GREAT!

It works, but cheap.
The rope was too thin to climb, so I had to tie it up in knots. Then the metal bent when I put my weight on it. Fun, but not quality.

Nice Design / Functional
This is a great grappling hook. However, I noticed the paint is chipping already and I never "officially" used it yet.

White rope instead of black
The rope was a different color than pictured and the box it came in was taped to h*** and back. I assume I got an item that has been used before and repackaged when I ordered... Read more

Ninja Grappling hook
I liked this Item a lot. But it kind of bent when I used it. It was supposed to be unbendable.

Feels weak
First off, the Grappling hook works. But the rope is very slim and extremely difficult to grip if your not climbing a wall/tree. Read more

Awesome!
I love this grappling hook. It's better quality than I expected for the price. I'm not going to try to climb with it but I wouldn't hesitate to try it seems so sturdy. Read more
